Definitions

  • the present invention relates to methods for regenerating a sulfur scavenging compound from a product of a sulfur scavenging reaction and, more particularly, to regenerating an N-C-N compound from a product of a sulfur scavenging reaction that has typically been difficult or expensive to regenerate.
  • Hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans are toxic, corrosive and malodorous compounds. Each may be found in a variety of liquid and gaseous media such as natural gas, petroleum, refinery gas streams, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, coal gas streams, gas streams from viscose rayon production, tars and asphalt, shale gas, coke oven gases, ammonia synthesis gas, rubber vulcanization streams, gases from sulfurization plants, turpentine production, pulp and paper mill effluent, sewage, brine drilling mud, land fills, phosphoric acid production gas streams and other industrial gas streams and effluents.
  • liquid and gaseous media such as natural gas, petroleum, refinery gas streams, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, coal gas streams, gas streams from viscose rayon production, tars and asphalt, shale gas, coke oven gases, ammonia synthesis gas, rubber vulcanization streams, gases from sulfurization plants, turpentine production, pulp and paper mill effluent, sewage, brine drilling
  • sulfur compounds include hydrogen sulfide, allyl thiol, propane thiol, benzyl thiol, crotyl thiol, ethane thiol, thiocresol and thiophenol.
  • Hydrogen sulfide is an undesirable contaminant which is highly toxic, corrosive and has an objectionable odor.
  • the release of hydrogen sulfide into the environment is strictly controlled by the Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Environmental Resources, as well as by other regulatory agencies throughout the world. Hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans not only have an offensive odor, but have also been linked to the formation of acid rain.
  • Methods for removing hydrogen sulfide and/or mercaptans may be generally classified as regenerative and non-regenerative.
  • Regenerative processes are generally more desirable because waste products are recycled. By regenerating sulfur scavenging compounds and thereby recycling the waste products, the cost, both economically and environmentally, of replenishing spent chemicals in the process and disposing of the waste products is lessened or eliminated.
  • typical prior art regenerative processes often require expensive processing equipment and high energy input.
  • British Published Patent Specification No. 2103645 discloses that hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide may be removed from a gas mixture by contacting the mixture with a solvent comprising a tertiary amine and a physical absorbent.
  • Suitable physical absorbents include N-methylpyrrolidone and sulfolane.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,112,051 discloses a process for removing acidic gases from a gaseous mixture with an amine-solvent liquid absorbent comprising (1) an amine comprised of at least about 50 mole percent of a sterically hindered amine; and (2) a solvent for the amine mixture which is also a physical absorbent for the acidic gases.
  • Suitable sterically hindered amines include various piperidine compounds.
  • Suitable solvents include sulfones and pyrrolidone and piperidone compounds, to name a few.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,978,512 discloses methods for reducing the levels of hydrogen sulfide and organic sulfides in a hydrocarbon stream by contacting the stream with a composition comprising a reaction product of a lower alkanolamine with a lower aldehyde. Suitable reaction products include mixtures of triazine and bisoxazolidine compounds.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,647,397 discloses a process and composition for removing hydrogen sulfide and similar sulfides from a gas stream.
  • the gas stream is contacted with a substituted aromatic nitrile having an electron-attracting substitute on the aromatic ring at least as strong as halogen and an organic tertiary amine in an inert organic solvent, such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone.
  • the spent contacting solution may be regenerated by heating the solution above the decomposition temperature of the reaction products to separate the sulfides from the liquid phase absorbent solution.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,775,519 discloses a continuous process for removing acid gas components from a gas stream by countercurrently contacting the stream with an aqueous solution of a mixture of N-methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) with imidazole or a methyl substituted imidazole.
  • MDEA N-methyldiethanolamine
  • the gas is deabsorbed from the MDEA and the imidazole by reducing the pressure and causing the gas to flash.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,624,838 discloses a process for removing acid gases from a gaseous stream by contacting the stream with an aqueous scrubbing solution containing a hetero nitrogen compound comprising either a five- or six- membered ring having a pKa no greater than about 8.
  • Preferred hetero nitrogen compounds include imidazole and piperazine compounds.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,128,049 discloses a method for reducing the hydrogen sulfide content of hydrocarbon-containing fluids and aqueous solutions by injections of a dilute solution of a scavenging agent.
  • Suitable scavenging agents include hexahydro-1,3,5-tris(2-hydroxyethyl)-S-triazine and various other compounds.

  • the heterocyclic compound may have straight, branched or cyclic substituents.

  • the present methods for regenerating an N-C-N compound from a product of a sulfur scavenging reaction are both simple and inexpensive. These methods are useful both for batch processes and continuous processes to permit recirculation of regenerated sulfur scavenging compounds. In the present methods, the need for complicated processing machinery, the purchase of additional sulfur scavenging compounds and the disposal of valuable hetero compounds as waste products are reduced or eliminated.

  • amine salts include those having the general formula R--NH 3 + SH - where R is an alkanol group for example HOCH 2 CH 2 NH 3 + SH - .
  • the amine complex may be separated from the hetero compound prior to the regeneration reaction or it may be included in the regeneration. If included, the amine complex is a source of nitrogen atoms for replacing the sulfur atom of the hetero compound. By including part or all of the amine complex in the regeneration reaction, the cost of separating the hetero compound from the amine complex prior to regeneration is reduced or eliminated.

  • the replacement of the sulfur atom of the hetero compound by a nitrogen atom of the nitrogen compound or amine complex is carried out at a temperature of about 25° to about 105° C. It is believed that elevated temperatures will increase the rate of reaction.

  • the ethanolamine-hydrosulfide salt was separately reacted with an excess of sodium hydroxide at 80° C. for two hours. Analysis of the resulting product showed that uncomplexed ethanolamine was formed. Acid neutralization was not required in either of these reactions since 99.5 wt % hydrogen sulfide was used in the sulfur scavenging reaction.
  • the regenerated triazine compound was placed in a bubble flask through which 2,000 ppm hydrogen sulfide in methane was passed.
